Chapter 132: Visiting the Craftsman
Wu Shixiang smiled faintly, seeing that all the eyes of the audience were focused on him, everyone was curious about whether Mu Yuanju had any better products this time?
"This eldest sister is also an expert, and the things in her hands are really good!" Hearing the boss of Mu Yuanju boast about herself, the middle-aged lady was even more proud, she and Mu Yuanju can't compare, but she can win a small win on the phoenix eye and lotus, and it is enough to brag about herself!
"I have a string of better hand-held than a five-star admiral, but I don't know what it's called?" Wu Shixiang slowly took out a string of hand-helds, at least 2.0 or more, each of which was round and purple-red.
"Well, I'll give my own name! It's called the Hexagram! Do you see if it's appropriate? ”
The camera hurriedly gave a close-up, and everyone was instantly shocked, only to see that each one in the big hand turned out to be hexagonal! Like a magic six-star array, it is extremely mysterious.
"Am I dazzled? Is there really a hexagonal phoenix eye? ”
"Really! It's still six sides! ”
"2.0 is a six-sided old phoenix eye big hand!
The people present were stunned by Wu Shixiang's string of unique old phoenix eyes, with heavy pulp, antique and antique, plus the mysterious six-mangling array, which was as shocking as a work of art.
"And this string of 108 2.0 toothed old lotus! I guess it's the best, right? ”
Wu Shixiang didn't stop, and directly took out a string of 108 big prayer beads, 2.0 big lotus with full teeth! The pieces are dark red, such as the red lotus under the Bodhisattva's seat, full of Zen flavor.
"Forget it! I can't look at Mu Yuanju's things in the future, it's really infuriating! ”
"Hey, I'm drunk too!"
Players have been shocked by Wu Shixiang and become a habit, mahogany bracelets are like this, walnuts are like this, and even Bodhi is like this! Let no one else play?
Lao Yu and Cao Ming smiled bitterly on the side, originally they actually wanted to take a chance look at Wu Shixiang's deflated appearance, people can't take everything, right? I didn't expect that there are really strange people, who can excel in anything!
"This? You're awesome! The middle-aged woman looked stiff, and looked at the real best with her own hands, not to mention the size and appearance, just this at least ten years or more of pulp, her things are scum! Ridiculous that you still want to win? Hurry up and wash up and go home and sleep!
Today, all the Bodhi programs have been recorded, and both players and Zhang Yang are very satisfied, popularizing various introductory knowledge, sharing a lot of expert experience, and witnessing the miracle again.
For Wu Shixiang's final public announcement of the opening of the Shilihe branch next month, if it is replaced by someone else, it must be reduced in the later stage! Just kidding, it's good if you don't give money to the program team on camera, and you dare to advertise?
But for this, even if Bai Shuang is not the program director, the station leader will turn a blind eye! Now Muyuanju is a holy place in the hearts of players, as long as Wu Shixiang appears, the ratings will be overwhelming, and advertisers will rush to sponsor it. Not to mention an advertisement, there is no problem even if it is a special show.
"Tomorrow we will gather at the TV station at eight o'clock, and we will go to Qingxian County, Hebei Province to record nuclear carving, which is the hometown of wood carving in our north, and the three of you are fine, right?"
There is no problem for the three of them, Qingxian often goes, once a month, to see the mahogany collection, and choose some goods. It's an hour's drive and it's fast.
"I heard that you shocked the audience again today?"
In the evening, Wu Shixiang came to Baishuang's house for dinner, and the beautiful anchor cooked in person, watching her sexy housewife dress. Wu Shixiang was very aggressive, and directly corrected the white frost on the spot in the kitchen.
"I blame you! The dishes are all mushy!
Baishuang's face was flushed, and he hadn't recovered from **, so he took a bite of a somewhat burnt dish and said angrily.
"No, it's delicious! Delicious and delicious! ”
Wu Shixiang had no heart or lungs, eating vegetables in a big gulp, and Baishuang lived in two bedrooms and one living room by himself. The decoration is very elegant, I am also the first time to come, and I don't need to open a hotel in the future, it is more cool here!
Bai Shuang watched his lover eat his own cooking, and his heart was very sweet, no man had come to the house for many years. This is the last spiritual haven for her, the only safe haven.
On the surface, she is a strong woman, but no matter how strong a person is, there are times when she is vulnerable, no matter how tired and bitter she is working outside, she can always calm down and feel much better when she comes home.
She never knew whether to take Wu Shixiang home, after all, she was hurt once, and her soul was still a little shadowy, and she was afraid that the more she invested, the more painful she would be. But I still didn't hold back, I wanted the two of them to have a world that really belonged to the two, and it seemed that the decision was the right one.
Wu Shixiang quickly finished eating, regardless of Baishuang's objections, and dragged her to take a mandarin duck bath together. Looking at the glamorous and sexy goddess on TV, the kind of desire to refuse and welcome, whip up the horse, and be conquered by yourself, this is the shock to the audience!
Wu Shixiang told the girl not to go home to sleep, and then accompanied Baishuang at night. The two of them hugged each other and slept together, looking at the quiet and peaceful sleeping posture of the white frost, he was also very satisfied.
"Baby, get up!"
Early in the morning, Wu Shixiang was called by the white frost, and the two of them had a loving breakfast together and drove to the TV station. Today they are going to Qingxian to look for nuclear carving artists, and they will meet at eight o'clock, Bai Shuang is going to a meeting, and Wu Shixiang is waiting for the big army in the car.
Nuclear carving is a real decay into a magical handicraft work, nuclear carving since ancient times is the plaything of the literati, including small pendants, ornaments, hand toys and other appreciative olive core carving. The olive pit is a discarded object that has been conceived and carved by artists to make it a unique work of art
Wu Shixiang didn't know much about nuclear carving, he preferred naturally formed things, such as walnuts and King Kong. However, now the nuclear carving is very hot, originally just a small category, after continuous development, it has become a popular plate with annual sales of more than one billion.
The classification of olive core carvings does not have a clear demarcation and can be distinguished by different concepts. In terms of subject matter, the first is traditional themes, and the second is innovative themes. In terms of carving techniques, it is divided into: round carving, thin carving, bas-relief, deep relief, openwork, of course, these techniques can be mixed together.
In terms of the workflow of items, it can be divided into assembly line products and independently completed products or works. In terms of nature, there are two categories: one is handicrafts, and the other is artworks. Some people will say that there is also a difference between machine qì carving and hand carving.
In fact, as tools become more and more advanced, many people have a large number of cutting work completed by machines in the early stage of engraving. This is actually a kind of progress, which speeds up the speed of production, and when a large number of cutting is completed, the formed blank is then processed by hand with a knife.
The works or products that come out are actually no different from those that are all handmade. Of course, a small number of people do their work by the machine, this kind of thing has no point in playing, this is no longer carving.
However, now the market is flooded with a large number of this kind of whole machine products, the price is low, and it is even more hateful that a small number of unscrupulous merchants use machine workers to pretend to be manual, and even famous workers, making a windfall.
Some people will say that Suzhou workers, Hebei workers, Sichuan workers, Fujian workers, South Road workers, North Road workers, etc., in fact, this is not the difference between workers, but the concept of distribution center.
Let's talk about Suzhou and Fujian, where a large part of the people are engaged in olive core carving, merchants from all over the country will go there to get the goods, and when the goods arrive, they will say, this is Suzhou goods, this is Fujian goods, and over time they will become Suzhou workers and Fujian workers.
In fact, everyone will only talk about the subject matter, carving method and author's name, and will not divide the origin, and the regular craftsmen have a certain level of standards, the most powerful is the national art master, the real master, there are few in total.
Then there is the provincial first-level craft master, which is the high-end mainstream of the market. Finally, there are some folk artists, but the craftsmanship is good, the player recognition is high, and they can also be sold at a high price.
The most amazing nuclear carving works are the things of the Ming Dynasty. "Qing Secret Collection" records that there was a man named Xia Baiyan during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. "I can engrave sixteen dolls on the olive core, and my eyebrows are full of joy and anger. Or engrave nine cocktails, nine lotus flowers, and its pan bends and flies away in a state of contract, becoming a small nucleus in square inches".
Ming Wei Xueyun made "The Nuclear Boat Record", describing the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse Yushan, now Suzhou Changshu, the nuclear carving artist Wang Yi made the olive core boat "Dongpo Red Cliff Tour", the characters are lifelike, the boat is picturesque, "The Nuclear Boat Record" has been selected into the second language textbook of the junior high school.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shuyuan carved the peach pit, Xing Xian's carved walnut, and Xia Baiyan's olive core can be described as the three unique core carvings, and his works have been handed down very rarely.
In the Qing Dynasty, Qiu Shan nuclear carving skills were exquisite, and few works were handed down. The walnut carving of Yang Zhishan, a nuclear carving artist in the late Qing Dynasty, "West Garden Elegant Collection Illustrated" is its masterpiece, the forest is sparse, the strange stones are uneven, and there are 19 people in three groups of characters carved, and its subtlety is surprising.
The nuclear carving artist Du Guilan, who was born in the Guangxu period, was extremely skilled, and the ****** premier visited in 1955 and presented a gift to foreign heads of state with a piece of his nuclear carving works.
The above is an absolute grandmaster-level artwork, which has now been lost, and if it can really be handed down to the present, it must be a sky-high treasure at auction.
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
At half past eight o'clock, everyone arrived, Zhang Yang and the camera drove the TV van, Cao Ming and Yu Hongfei made Wu Shixiang's BMW, and a group of five people went to Qingxian County to pan for nuclear carvings.
"The two are senior experts, I don't know if you know anyone?"
Before coming, the ancient trust relationship helped Wu Shixiang ask a few nuclear carving artists, Qingxian is the hometown of wood carving, and the nest of mahogany furniture. Some are masters, speaking of nuclear carving, the representative of the northern workers is to Langfang as the center, some local craftsmen around. In the south, there are Suzhou craftsmen, as well as Fujian craftsmen. Of course, Suzhou has the highest level of craftsmen and the most famous artists, and it has been able to produce many people since ancient times.
"I know a few veteran craftsmen who have been doing it for decades and have good skills. It's a pity that the fame has not been great, and the market recognition is not as good as that of southerners. ”
Yu Hongfei has been working for decades, and he naturally has more contacts, but he actually makes money by dumping goods in the middle. Someone wants, he can find the right one and make a hard-earned profit.
After a few contacts, Wu Shixiang found that Lao Yu was greedy, and there was nothing wrong with him. The level is okay, once it is on the show, it is also very serious, and it has slowly changed a lot.
"I'm not very familiar with nuclear carving, I rarely play with nuclear carving, if you talk about the study room and furniture, Qingxian knows a lot of good craftsmen." Cao Ming shook his head and told the truth. There are many categories of literature and play, broad and profound, except for freaks like Wu Shixiang, others can be proficient in one is talent, and it is rare to become an all-rounder.
"Then let's see how Zhang Yang arranges it then, right? If you can't work hard, take us to see it. ”
Lao Yu said with a smile: "No problem, this is the benefit of being old, know more people, hehe." ”
There is nothing to say all the way, the two cars get on the high speed and quickly arrive at the destination, Qingxian County as the hometown of wood carving, many people are engaged in the wood carving industry. The streets are full of shops, ranging from hand-strung prayer beads to furniture.
